Fate

[Verse 1]
There's a voice inside the storm
Whispering about the war that's coming
Chaos and the calm whistling down to a quiet humming
You're drumming to the drill but ain't built for the kill
Your heart can't stand the blast of the fire you lit
Spilt your brains
Seduced by a [?] consumer goods
Told you to quit your killer toppings, it's fatal
And you know you should
I'm up early at the crack of dawn
A snare drum like a gunshot on a chopper door
Calm riot with the forces of a bomb tyrant trump science
You ought to listen to the song's silence
Unpackable, I'm sending letters in a [?]
Parked on the side road, hearing Jullian Gomes
Hе told them about the templе of snakes
Instead, algorithms of depression got me awake
Rumble, run for cover 'cause your [?] wanna take you
Crumble numbers on the corridor glow like a great dude
The dying of the light, arrival of the night
Cheating death with every second breath, lambs in a fight
So what is it that my soul needs from this place?
There's a cold stench of fate and it stares you in the face
No police on the local scene [?]
Depressive addiction of a nightmare that cloaks a dream
There's a knot in my stomach, I woke up in a hell hole
A man killed another man with the back of a rifle
The bludgeoning attack was reported to be cold
The type of senseless act that had requirements of a soul
Who's the troubled soul who's supposed to stop the tragedy?
Who's the sacrifice? Remember Mugabe's [?]
Strength vs aggression, Justice vs the law
A job vs a calling, can't be just a simple star
The sun ain't never dies here
I'm inside a raging star
Zoning inside a flying jet
Coding a state of mind you bet

[Chorus]
Every time I look into the crowd I see a trap
I see the trap of the cowardice of living on my back against the wall
Heard the badgering hound of a call
That I've ignored but it tends to repeat like an encore
Count the number of the days
They say the dog with the loudest barks are the most afraid
If the killer buys [?] you get muzzle and a cage
[?] the prayer of the brave

[Verse 2]
If you happen to be first, you got a target on your back
If you're last, nobody gives a damn for your attack
And the ruler of the block is always counting the stats
And the law of the jungle is the story Tarantino black
That's how you get the live it in the light
A curious sight of surrender get you down without a fight
A vacillating ultra beam giving a bite of beat streams at grandeur's height
I just can't fly with this clipped wing
Let the stars remember that the kindest was the death of me
My soul is a ghost and the pain became [?] to me
I hate the way it makes me feel when I'm boiling with hatred
You got a shield but the spear will pierce it and it's basic
Hearts aching over hot coals
You wear a mask so long 'till your face begins to grow into the shape of it
Your holes gripped inside of the shredder
And the alphabets of the plan that you used to [?]

[Chorus]
Every time I look into the crowd I see a trap
I see the trap of the cowardice of living on my back against the wall
Heard the badgering hound of a call
That I've ignored but it tends to repeat like an encore
Count the number of the days
They say the dog with the loudest bark are the most afraid
If the killer buys [?] you get muzzle and a cage
[?] the prayer of the brave

[Verse 3]
They built the shacks the same place where the cows grazed
Iron fist behind the invincible hand on highways
We grew up in the coldest crucible
How we made it is a maze between the liquor and pharmaceuticals
I'm from a place where you can win a fist fight
But lose against the knife
So best think twice if you can't hit right
So seat tight, money and power get the respect
Poverty gets a spit in the face with a written cheque
People despair 'cause nobody can save them
There's no force and the police, the felonies brazen
Who's to enforce the law when the authority's caught?
They killed the magistrate at the station who be running the court
Just a little hope, we all wanted to flourish
Just a little pass if you let us go unpunished
Adding water to the poison never passed as nourish
If you gonna talk the talk, you better have the courage

[Chorus]
Every time I look into the crowd I see a trap
I see the trap of the cowardice of living on my back against the wall
Heard the badgering hound of a call
That I've ignored but it tends to repeat like an encore
Count the number of the days
They say the dog with the loudest bark are the most afraid
If the killer buys [?] you get muzzle and a cage
[?] the prayer of the brave
